Well, they way things are now, is that almost every sub-program "#includes" version.h directly and actually uses the VERSION variable - so they will need to be re-built anyhow to contain the most recent version information:
```shell
find -iname "*.cpp" | xargs grep "VERSION"
```

I'm guess that with the recent "bedtools" restructuring, non of the sub-programs needs to have the version string included directly in them and so eventually those could be removed, and only "bedtools.cpp" should be rebuilt when the version changes.
